GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina Republican legislative leaders want a three-judge panel to act quickly on their request to delay a ruling directing altered House and Senate districts be used in this year's elections.

The GOP lawmakers' lawyers filed Sunday a motion asking the federal judges stay their order accepting new boundary lines from a special master while legislators appeal that order to the U.S. Supreme Court. They want a decision by Monday because they plan to request a similar delay before the Supreme Court if the judges deny it.
